Registration remains open for the annual Walk Kansas program until April 6. In this program participants can form teams of six people who then over an eight-week period cover a composite distance ranging from 480 to 1,152 miles. Deb Andres, Geary County Family & Consumer Science Agent, said this is the 24th year for the program. "It's designed to be a health initiative where you can make a change in your lifestyle by increasing your walking and exploring your combination of fruits and vegetables, drinking water and getting adequate sleep. "
To register go to www.walkkansasonline.org
The cost to participate is $10 per person. One person for each six-member team will serve as the captain. Participants can also choose to purchase shirts.
There will be incentives for high achieving teams and individuals at the end of the season. Call the Geary County K-State Research and Extension Office at 785-238-4161 with questions.
